: Hello to the members,
: I don't know if I'm in the right place
: and if I'm not perhaps someone can
: point me in the right direction. I
: just found found this site from a
: search I did on Trisomy 22.
: I recently miscarried exactly a month
: from today and ironically I received an
: email today from my OBGYN telling me
: about the genetic testing he did on our
: embryo/baby.
: Turns out there was a definite
: abnormality with my pregnancy. His
: emaail: "There was an extra
: chromosome #22 which is called
: autosomal trisomy (this is not much
: different than trisomy #21 which is
: "Downs syndrome"
. However
: trisomy #22 is not compatible with any
: viability and is always miscarried.
: This is the reason the pregnancy
: stopped growing". I guess that's
: why I miscarried according to my
: doctor.
: I'm just trying to get some clarity on
: this from others who have experienced
: the same. Of course I will be talking
: to my doctor tomorrow and will get his
: instructions on what to do next but
: reading other's experience may help in
: what questions to ask, etc.
: For instance there are no chromosome
: defects in my family or my husband but
: yet we produced a embryo/baby wtih an
: extra chromosome 22, does this mean we
: should get tested prior to us trying to
: conceive again? Again, just for
: experience purposes. I'm not asking
: for medical advice here.
: This is all new to me and I'm extremly
: sacred and wonder if I should even try
: to conceive again knowing we had a
: chromosome defect with our first
: pregnancy.
: Thank you and hoping I'll hear from
: someone.
: Yvonne
